Abstract

The geographical part of the baroque prince library in Ljubljana was examined. The first Volf Engelbert Auersperg's librarian did not consider geographical books as the one of their 18 classes. Therefore most of geographical books were catalogued at the Profane History Class. We claimed that Volf collected the most important geographical books with Mercator and Münster's illustrated works among them. We put in the limelight the first library owner Volf Engelbert and tried to connect some geographical acquisitions with his personal interests. Volf's geographical books were compared with other Carniolan and German collectors. - (IKR)
